PJPII girls soccer outscores Sturgis West

On a sunny afternoon at Old Townhouse Park in Yarmouth, the Pope John Paul II girls varsity soccer team continued their offensive onslaught, cruising past Sturgis West 7-1 in Cape & Islands League Girls Soccer action.

The Lions, who have scored 13 goals in two games, were fresh from a 6-1 win at Cape Tech and wasted little time going on the attack in the Oct. 8 outing.

Danielle Demitriades netted a hat trick, scoring her fifth goal in the last two games to lead the Lions. In addition to Demitriades, Taylor Grillo tallied two scores and Kate O'Brien and Maddie McGrady each added a goal to the Lions’ effort.

A strong Pope John Paul II defense anchored by Haylee Whitely and Olivia Bengston allowed the Lions to be aggressive downfield for most of the contest.

Pope John Paul now stands at 7-7-1 for the season while West’s record is 1-7-1.
